Departmental Policy and Issue Selection and Introduction

Milestone One: Departmental Policy and Issue Selection and Introduction
In Module Three, you will submit a 1–2-page document introducing the public policy issue that your departmental policy will seek to address.

First, review the document A List of Public Policy Issues and select an issue.

Next, review the document Examples of Departmental Policies and select a departmental policy that you plan to make improvement recommendations for to address this issue.

Discuss related public policies (decisions, actions, laws, and/or positions) of both the state and federal government on the issue that you seek to address with your departmental policy.

Describe your selected policy issue, the related state or federal positions or actions on the issue, and explain the connection between the departmental policy and state or federal guidance on the issue.
